Be careful about over analysing the results of a competition between 14 year old boys. It is awesome for them that they have been selected to represent Sydney, however if they are to continue to do so as the cohort matures, there is a lot of effort, blood, sweat and tears needed. Plenty of...

Any update on Andrew Vatuvei's recovery and rehab? All at Chez Jarse hope that it is going well, and he is on track for a full recovery and speedy return to the starting lineup.

I think Jed came to Sydney for Senior College at Waverley from Yamba IIRC. He may have played some junior rep footy for a Wicks team, but the odds were stacked against him staying "local" as IIRC his father had played for the Hobbits "back in the day", and you know how fiercely loyal some...

It is possible that there are negotiations still underway for more Rats and MMM players. The commentators mentioned that there would probably be another 10 signed, and I suspect they were referring to the 10 coming from the Rats/MMM playing group not the Shoremen and Highlanders.

^^^ That could be Jake Gordon (Uni)? - Halfback, Tomas Robertson (Uni)? - Prop, Harry Jones (Rats) - Wing. Ned Hanigan (Randwick) #6 Notta, Cameron Orr (Pirates) LHP, Andrew Deegan (Randwick) #10 or #15.

Bay of Plenty Steamers Squad: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503343&objectid=11479680 Is the Lalakai Foketi selected at Centre, the same bloke that went from Rams NRC and Rebels to Bayonne last year? Terrence Hepetema, in the Steamers squad, played in...

Is there any other kind? A club must act in the best interests its members and other financial stakeholders. The M2B's would be mugs if they didn't seriously investigate any genuine offers, but the whole merge "M2B and Emus" is an absolute pie in the sky cloud gazing click bait thought bubble.

Did the Under 18 Colts end up at the June Long Weekend, as originally intended or is it still going? First year of any competition is always a bit of a challenge. Anyone associated with the U18's care to comment how it has gone, and whether it will return in 2016.

Another one from the Class of 2014 joins the "Playing First Grade in their first year out of School" Club. What a difference a year makes. 3rd Grade Colts for the Hobbits and CHS 2nd XV in 2014. 2015: NSW U20, Australian U20, and a debut off the bench for Randwick in the Shute Shield. Top...

Way to disenfranchise the West. A very courageous train of thought.

The annual Marlins choke? Woodies looking good to go back to back.

Was shown live (i think). Recorded on the IQ unit and watching that recording now. I love Foxtel IQ.

Catching up on IQ recordings of the Shute Shield match on 7Two, and the Maori NZ team vs Fiji. Plenty of rugby on the TV tonight at Chez Jarse. Flick across to Wimbledon and the Ashes (maybe not the latter - it's not good viewing :eek:)

^^^ The Foxtel TV Guide says this for 25 July 3pm on 7Two: Shute Shield Round 18: Sydney University v Northern Suburbs LIVE from Sydney University Oval. https://www.foxtel.com.au/got/whats-on/tv-guide/Club-Rugby/69758713 I've edited my OP based on that info.

Can we secure a referee for an upcoming podcast? It would be good to get their take on the recent IRB refereeing memo about rolling mauls, high tackles, and the like. It is likely to have an impact on TRC and RWC games.

Finals Watch Update: If the finals were held this coming weekend, the games would be: Colts 1: Randwick vs Gordon Sydney University vs Eastwood Northern Suburbs vs Eastern Suburbs Top 3 teams seem fairly settled with any one of 6 teams likely to fill the last 3 slots available. The Run...

Finals Watch Update: My understanding is the finals series will be the following format: Week 1: 1 vs 6, 2 vs 5, 3 vs 4 Week 2: Top Ranked Winner vs Highest Ranked Loser, 2nd Ranked Winner vs 3rd Ranked Winner Week 3: Grand Final - Winners of Week 2 games. On that basis then, using the round...

Gregor George Cup (Club Championship) Watch: (interim) It is getting tighter at the top as the usual suspects jockey with their positions and consolidate their lead at the top of the table. There is now 68 (LW 81) points separating the top 3 clubs. There is also one hell of a scrap for places...

4700 at Rat Park today for the Bayfields Cup. Earlier derby at Manly Oval was 6000-7000. Crowds are building, especially for the local derbies. 7Two coverage is getting better and better, especially for an operation that is run on the smell of an oily rag.

According to Channel 7Two the following have aleady signed for the Rays: Rats Luke Holmes Josh Holmes Boyd Killingworth Rory O'Connor Tyson Davis David Feltscher Michael Adams Sam Ward Marlins Sam Lane Dennis Pili-Gaitau Mitch Lewis Ed Gower Harry Bergelin Richard Hooper
